Lu Fan’s slap sent the manager spinning three times, his eyeballs rolling askew. After a moment of wobbling in his eye sockets, they finally snapped back into place.
“You… you dare hit me? Get him!” The hotel manager, having finally recovered, pointed at Lu Fan and roared.
Whoosh, whoosh… Two security guards immediately charged at Lu Fan, unleashing a barrage of punches.
These punches were usually quite effective, having subdued many people before. However, this time, the two guards seemed to have miscalculated. As their punches flew out, they felt a sharp pain in their lower abdomen, followed by a sensation like a heavy blow to the back. They involuntarily collapsed onto the ground.
The two men were bewildered. The speed was so great that they hadn’t even realized how they’d fallen. It wasn’t until the pain registered on their bodies that they finally understood. This was the moment to unleash pig-like squeals. And so, they howled. However, due to the limitations of their vocal cords, their cries sounded more like ghostly wails!
The hotel manager was also sprawled on the ground, but he couldn’t howl. Lu Fan had hooked his face up with his foot.
“Tell me, besides the police, who else did you tell about my business?” Lu Fan demanded, glaring at the hotel manager.
“I…” A flicker of panic flashed in the manager’s eyes. How could he know? He had acted so discreetly that there was no way he could have found out!
Thump… Thump… Lu Fan suddenly grabbed the man’s head and slammed it hard against the ground. Instantly, the man’s face was covered in blood.
“Don’t… don’t hit me anymore, I’ll talk, I’ll talk.” The hotel manager’s voice had changed, his soul nearly scared out of him. He had encountered a ruthless individual! This was clearly a situation where he was about to be beaten to death.
“Speak!” Lu Fan stopped and shouted.
“I only know his name is Lin… Young Master Lin!” the hotel manager blurted out urgently.
“Lin Quan! Hmph! Him again!” A cold glint flashed in Lu Fan’s eyes. It seemed he needed to find an opportunity to visit the Lin family!
Inside the hotel, many guests were awakened by the screams in the lobby and came down to investigate. However, upon seeing the scene, not a single person dared to step forward to intervene. They all hid by the staircase, watching everything unfold.
A man and a woman had beaten three men and two women to the point of crying for their parents. Such a scene was unprecedented.
However, Lu Fan was puzzled. With such a commotion, why hadn’t Lin Fang, Xinxin, or Yueyue appeared? Were the women sleeping that soundly? Could something have happened?
“If you dare to sell my information again, I won’t let you off!” Lu Fan kicked the hotel manager aside, stood up, and pulled out his phone to call Lin Fang.
The call was answered with Lin Fang’s groggy voice: “Master! You’re back? What’s going on, it sounds so chaotic?”
“Mm! I’m at the hotel, are you guys… sleeping?” Lu Fan was a bit confused. How exhausted must these people be to not hear such a huge commotion.
“Master, it’s not even dawn yet! Of course, we’re sleeping… Oh, right, we’ve already checked out of the hotel rooms. We’re all staying at Xue’er’s place now. You must be looking for Xue’er, right? Don’t you know she’s already bought a house?” Lin Fang, thoroughly woken by the chaotic sounds on the phone, quickly explained.
“Checked out?” Lu Fan was stunned. He really hadn’t expected Bai Xue to have checked out of the other hotel rooms. He quickly reached out, pulled Lin Miaomiao, who was still enthusiastically hitting things, and headed for the exit.
“Lu Fan… why are you pulling me? I haven’t vented all my anger yet!” Lin Miaomiao said unwillingly. It was the first time she had felt so cathartic hitting someone. She hadn’t expected hitting people to be so satisfying.
“Master, what’s happening on your end? Hitting people, what are you hitting?” Lin Fang asked, startled, as she climbed out of bed.
“It’s nothing, I’m heading to Xue’er’s place now!” Lu Fan quickly hung up the phone.
Fan Xue’er had bought a duplex apartment with a usable area of 120 square meters. The two floors combined had an actual usable area of 240 square meters, and it was a move-in ready property with all the furnishings. That’s what being rich meant! This house was almost like a small villa.
However, knowing that Fan Xue’er had bought such a large house made Bai Xuemei a little anxious. What if this young lady took Lu Fan to live with her… Fine! Let them all go keep this young lady company! Thus, Bai Xuemei canceled the hotel’s long-term reserved rooms, leaving only Lu Fan’s.
When Lu Fan arrived at Fan Xue’er’s house, Fan Xue’er and the others were already awake. They all wanted to know what had happened to Lu Fan! However, no one had expected Lu Fan to bring a woman with him!
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Lu Fan had no choice but to explain the whole story. Of course, he omitted the part about seeing Lin Miaomiao naked and their escapades at the police station.
Wang Yan stared at Lu Fan, almost drooling, but with so many people around, she really couldn’t act rashly. She barely heard what Lu Fan was saying, her mind filled with how to get this guy into her room for some fun.
With all this back and forth, dawn was breaking. There was no way for anyone to sleep anymore. So, after washing up, they all headed to the hotel and the fruit supermarket. Lu Fan and Lin Miaomiao were once again alone in the spacious room.
“I… I don’t want to sleep anymore! How about we go help out too!” Lin Miaomiao, seeing everyone leave, suddenly felt flustered. The sense of security she felt beside Lu Fan had vanished instantly. She quickly said to Lu Fan.
“Alright! Let’s go take a look too!” Lu Fan said with a helpless sigh. He didn’t know Lin Miaomiao well and didn’t feel it was necessary to keep her. But he was still worried about her being alone. Doing good deeds seemed truly difficult! Sigh! He’d just have to let her go home by herself once transportation was available!
Lin Fang and the others were busy at the hotel with the medicinal ingredients. When the delivery truck arrived, everyone started unloading the vegetables and fruits.
After a flurry of activity, Lin Miaomiao looked on in amazement. She had heard of this hotel; it was considered very impressive in the county. Seeing so many people eagerly lining up to buy peaches that cost fifty yuan a pound, she could hardly believe her eyes. Were the events of the past night a dream?
“Lu Fan! I… I just graduated from college and haven’t found a job yet. Can I… stay and do something?” Lin Miaomiao finally mustered the courage to ask Lu Fan.
“You want to find a job? You, a university student, are willing to work as a waitress here?” Lu Fan asked, looking at Lin Miaomiao in surprise.
“I have my ID card, my university graduation certificate… Look! I’m really a recent college graduate. I can work as a waitress temporarily.” Lin Miaomiao, thinking Lu Fan didn’t believe her identity, quickly took out her documents to show him.
“Alright then!” Lu Fan looked at Lin Miaomiao’s ID card and graduation certificate, then called out to Lin Fang, “Lin Fang! Lin Miaomiao wants to find a job here. Take her to see Sister Xuemei!”
“Okay! Miaomiao, come with me!” Lin Fang led Lin Miaomiao away.
At this moment, a blue Porsche was speeding from the provincial capital towards the county town. Lu Fan recognized the driver as Lin Quan. In the passenger seat sat a man with a somewhat fierce appearance and a stubbled face.
“Zhang Meng! This time, you must ensure that brat is killed in the detention center! As long as you can kill him, this five million yuan is yours,” Lin Quan said, waving a five-million-yuan check in his hand.
“Young Master Lin! Rest assured! As long as he enters the detention center, I, Sai Likui, will make sure he never comes out!” Zhang Meng’s eyes lit up as he looked at the five-million-yuan check.
